Shepherd High School Parent Update

With only a few more days of summer now would be a good time to slowly start getting those school day routines into practice - get to bed a little earlier, get out of bed in time to be out the door to catch the bus, etc. Slowing getting back into the school day schedule/routine now will make things a whole lot easier around the house a week from now.

School sports start tomorrow (8/11). Just a reminder for those participating that you need an updated physical in your FinalForms account before you can practice/play. Also, don't forget that in order to practice or play you need to be in school - a phone call from home to "excuse" you is needed but does not allow you to participate that day. Only absences due to appointments (with a note from the doctor/dentist) are allowable to still practice/play that day (or Saturday if it is Friday). This has been the policy for a long time but is going to be much more enforced this year.

If you have not yet logged into FinalForms to update and to sign forms, please do so.

As we prepare for the 25-26 school year, we want to inform families that Shepherd Public Schools will now implement 3-hour delays in place of 2-hour delays when appropriate.

Here’s how a 3-hour delay will work:

School Doors Open: 10:40 AM

Power Announcement Sent: 5:30 AM

If Conditions Worsen, School Would Be Canceled by: 8:00 AM

Please note:

Sub-varsity athletic events will be canceled on school closing days unless they are part of a combination game with a varsity team. We will begin making decisions about practices, games, and other school activities at 12:00 pm.

We appreciate your flexibility as we prioritize student and staff safety while maximizing learning time.
